96: Seven women

The two drove to a high-end Residential Complex. After getting out of the car, Tang You led Chen Li inside while introducing the place:

"This was my dad's eighteenth birthday gift to me. It signifies becoming an adult and being independent, so he bought this one hundred and eighty square meter apartment."

Chen Li couldn't help but marvel at Tang Yifeng's thoughtfulness; finding an apartment of exactly this size made the hidden meaning quite perfect.

Although the actual usable space certainly wasn't that much, who would quibble over the common area factor at a time like this?

As long as that number was written on the property deed, the sentiment was conveyed.

Following Tang You, they took the elevator directly to the floor, and she skillfully opened the door.

The first thing that came into view was the spacious and bright living room, which was decorated simply—a comfortable sofa, with no coffee table in front of it, but instead a soft, white, long-pile rug.

Opposite was a wall-to-wall bookshelf, neatly organized with various types of books.

The balcony was set up very comfortably, featuring a rattan hanging chair and a small round table.

On both sides of the living room were the bedrooms, kitchen, and other functional areas.

Tang You took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and handed it to Chen Li. "Have a seat and feel free to look around. I'm going to take a shower."

After speaking, she took her pajamas and walked into the bathroom.

Chen Li casually explored the living room, his gaze drawn to a photo wall.

It was covered with photos of Tang You's travels from childhood to the present, spanning from snow-capped mountains to azure beaches, marking footprints all over the world.

In the photos, she had been a beautiful girl from a young age; when she smiled, her eyes curved, making her exceptionally charming.

Just as he was lost in thought looking at them, Tang You finished her shower and came out.

She was wearing light pink silk pajamas. She gently hugged Chen Li from behind and softly asked, "Looking at the photos? Which one do you like the most?"

Feeling the warmth radiating from behind him, Chen Li pointed to a photo of her posing with an elephant. "Where was this taken?"

"In Chiang Mai, Thailand," Tang You pressed her face against his back. "I even fed it a banana back then."

Chen Li looked around at the wall full of photos. "I didn't realize you had been to so many places."

"I've always loved traveling since I was little," Tang You said with a hint of pride in her voice. "These photos record many happy moments for me."

Chen Li slowly turned around, his gaze settling on the girl in front of him.

Freshly showered, Tang You resembled a flower moistened by steam; her fair skin showed a faint pink blush, and damp strands of hair clung to her cheeks.

With a bare face, she was more captivating than during any moment she was elaborately dressed, her smooth jawline and high nose bridge forming a perfect profile.

He leaned down, scooped her up horizontally, and gently placed her on the soft sofa.

Tang You instinctively clutched his lapel. Although she had mentally prepared herself long ago, she couldn't help but feel nervous when the moment arrived.

She had heard that the first time always hurt a little... Under Chen Li's gentle caresses, Tang You quickly melted into his embrace, losing the strength even to stand.

"Should we... go to the bedroom?" she whispered pleadingly, her voice trembling slightly.

Chen Li didn't answer but responded to her anticipation with action, picking her up and steadily walking toward the bedroom... (Ten thousand words omitted here)

Two hours later, moonlight quietly crept past the half-drawn curtains, casting soft patches of light onto the wooden floor.

In the bedroom, Tang You was curled up asleep in Chen Li's arms, a lingering blush still on her face.

The next morning, Chen Li woke up feeling refreshed and glanced at Tang You, who was still sound asleep beside him.

He quietly got out of bed and whispered in her ear that he needed to return to school.

Tang You mumbled an 'Mhm,' rolled over, and fell back asleep.

After washing up, Chen Li took a taxi back to school.

Feeling not a trace of fatigue in his body, he couldn't help but sigh—starting with Liu Yu, and now including Tang You, the number of girls around him had reached seven.

If it weren't for the Max-Level Physique granted by the System, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.

Speaking of Liu Yu, her life recently had been absolutely thriving.

She originally had a fixed small circle of friends, mostly High School classmates and friends introduced by others.

Among this group of girls, some had beautiful faces, some had fiery Figures, and a few came from slightly wealthy families.

However, a small minority—two or three—were supported by sugar daddies; this had long been an open secret in their circle.

In the past, during gatherings, watching her girlfriends wear designer clothes and be picked up and dropped off by luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands, Liu Yu didn't say anything, but she was intensely envious.

Given her Appearance and Figure, many sugar daddies were interested in her, and her girlfriends, at the behest of their own benefactors, tried to set her up.

But those men were either pot-bellied middle-aged men or balding men with sparse "Mediterranean" hair. Forget about living a luxurious life,

just imagining intimate contact with such people made her feel completely uncomfortable.

She genuinely liked those exquisite bags and beautiful clothes.

But if she had to accompany those greasy, married middle-aged men for these things, she would rather go without.

Every time she met up with her girlfriends and watched them shop freely, she had to pretend to be calm, but her heart was aching with envy.

So when Chen Li appeared, she acted almost without hesitation—he was young, rich, and a peer.

Even though she knew he had a girlfriend, she didn't care, determined to seize this opportunity.

Looking back now, she had played this move perfectly.

What she had gained from Chen Li far exceeded her initial expectations.

It wasn't just material satisfaction—the bags she carried and the clothes she wore were in no way inferior to her girlfriends', and were perhaps even better;

The 'spiritual' pleasure was even more incomparable. Her life was unfolding exactly according to the script she had dreamed of; every day was the ideal state of living.

More important was the sense of security and confidence: she now had hundreds of thousands in cash in her wallet and a million-dollar luxury car registered in her name.

And her other girlfriends? At most, they held credit cards with tens of thousands in credit given by their sugar daddies, and after using them up, they had to anxiously wait for the next month's repayment.

Their transportation was even more meager; being occasionally picked up by an old model car worth three to five hundred thousand was considered good luck. Usually, they had to take taxis themselves.

Today, she was invited to a wellness club for a skin treatment.

If Chen Li happened to see the interior of her car right now, he would definitely be surprised—the one sitting in her passenger seat was actually Song Lingyun.

These two girls, previously unacquainted, had now become inseparable companions because they shared the same man.

Since their last trip together, they unexpectedly found that they got along extremely well. Their relationship grew closer and closer, and they were now best girlfriends who shared everything.

The two chatted in the car and unconsciously arrived at their destination—Lüdecheng Wellness Center.

The BMW smoothly drove into the Wellness Center's dedicated parking spot. After Liu Yu and Song Lingyun got out, they walked side-by-side toward the exquisite glass door.

Meanwhile, in the Wellness Center's lounge area, several girls who had arrived earlier were sitting on soft sofas chatting.

"Liu Yu should be arriving soon, right?" a fair-looking girl asked, checking the time.

"Probably on the way. She's usually quite punctual," the girl next to her, wearing a beige suit, responded.

Just then, the girl in the pink dress suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously:

"Did you hear? Xiaoya said last time that Liu Yu's boyfriend gave her a bmw 7 series, which costs over a million!"
